Kyrie Irving could reportedly return from Nets suspension as soon as Sunday, after 8 missed games

Kyrie Irving is close to finishing his suspension from the Brooklyn Nets and could return as soon as Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The All-Star point guard has been away from the team for nearly two weeks, as punishment for posting an antisemitic documentary, then refusing to apologize or denounce the video for a full week. The Nets initially suspended him for five games, but with additional conditions that apparently lengthened his time away.

To date, Irving has missed seven games and will miss Thursday's game against the Portland Trial Blazers as well.
